\nThe rosette<\/strong> (rose) is a timeless jewel, symbol and amulet.\u00a0The origin of the term is the Greek word for rose \u2013 rodon (\u03c1\u03cc\u03b4\u03bf\u03bd). Its use began in the Mycenaean era and continues as far as the 2nd millennia BC. The Mycenaean Rosette is a motif that was widespread throughout Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and other ancient civilizations. It is inspired by a Mycenaean rosette bead, found at Mycenae, dated to 1400-1300 B.C. The rosette were used extensively in ancient Greek Mycenaean jewels, in architecture, pottery and in sculptures from 1500 BC. Mycenaean rosettes usually had 6 or 8 or 12 leaves, and sixteen leaves during the Macedonian Dynasty. Such details as the rodax shape and the number of leaves tend to vary with the era or beliefs. The rosettes were used to decorate the cloths, the belts and wreaths of the Kings. The number of leaves had a symbolic character each time. The four elements of nature (wind, earth, fire, water), the seven wonders of the ancient world or the twelve gods of ancient Greeks and the world domination and radiance of the Kings of Macedonia. They were signs of beauty, purity, eugenics, worship and power. Rosette or Rodax was probably the most popular and favorite decorative element in Mycenaean era, classical antiquity and Byzantine times.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[338,375,342,380,337],"product_tag":[803],"class_list":{"0":"post-51499","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-byzantine-el","7":"product_cat-necklaces-el","8":"product_cat-byzantine-necklace-el","9":"product_cat-jewellery-el","10":"product_cat-collections-el","11":"product_tag-byzantine-necklaces-el","12":"pa_gender-women-el","13":"pa_length-80-cm","14":"pa_material-4325","15":"pa_material-4311","16":"pa_width-2-5-cm","18":"first","19":"onbackorder","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
